In 1994 Yamaha announced the creation of Star Motorcycles, a new standalone brand name for its cruiser series of motorcycles in the American market. The Yamaha Star line is a perfect blend of classic American Styling and modern Japanese technology and reliability.

The V-Star 950 is a “Goldilocks” bike. It’s not too big or too small, not too fast or too slow, it’s just right. It’s such a well-designed motorcycle that in 2009 it was awarded V-Twin Magazine’s “Metric of the Year” award.

It doesn't matter if you want to hit the open road or you’re just running an errand to the corner store, the V-Star 1300 is a great choice. Yamaha gave the 1300 V-Star plenty of power for 2-up touring but managed to keep the seat height and weight low enough for easy in-town navigation.
